Note on the use of these slides
• These slides provide the basic theory that I would like you to know.
There are many more techniques on the slides that came with the
textbook, which are also available on eFundi. As I talk you through
this slide show, please stop where you don't understand, go to either
the textbook (Heizer and Render) or the Heizer & Render slides and
make sure you understand them. If you still do not understand, on
the first page that you have to submit is space for you to tell me what
you do not understand so that I can cover it in class.
• Once you have gone through the slides, go to the template on eFundi
and prepare your submissions for the next contact session.

What is lean production?
• Lean Production can be defined as an integrated
set of activities designed to achieve high-volume
production using minimal inventories (raw
materials, work in process, and finished goods)
• Lean Production also involves the elimination of
waste in production effort
• Lean Production also involves the timing of
production resources (i.e., parts arrive at the next
workstation “just in time”)
• Good housekeeping (5 Ss)
The Toyota Production System
Based on two philosophies:
1. Elimination of waste
2. Respect for people

Respect for People
• Level payrolls
• Cooperative employee unions
• Subcontractor networks
• Bottom-round management style
• Quality circles (Small Group Involvement
Activities or SGIA’s)
The seven wastes
• Over-processing
• Over-production
• Waiting
• Defects
• Inventory
• Motion
• Transport
• (Talent)
Video: Lean manufacturing cell
• Lean manufacturing cell
Implementing Lean
• Link operations
• Balance workstation capacities
• Redesign layout for flow
• Emphasize preventive maintenance
• Reduce lot sizes
• Reduce setup/changeover time
Lean in Services (Examples)
• Organize Problem-Solving Groups
• Upgrade Housekeeping
• Upgrade Quality
• Clarify Process Flows
• Revise Equipment and Process Technologies
• Level the Facility Load
• Eliminate Unnecessary Activities
• Reorganize Physical Configuration
• Introduce Demand-Pull Scheduling
• Develop Supplier Networks
The 5 Ss
 Sort/segregate – when in doubt, throw it out
 Simplify/straighten – methods analysis tools
 Shine/sweep – clean daily
 Standardize – remove variations from processes
 Sustain/self-discipline – review work and
recognize progress
Two additional Ss
 Safety – build in good practices
 Support/maintenance – reduce
variability and unplanned downtime
Remove Variability
 JIT systems require managers to
reduce variability caused by both
internal and external factors
 Variability is any deviation from the
optimum process
 Inventory hides variability
 Less variability results in less waste
Just-In-Time (JIT)
• Powerful strategy for improving operations
• Materials arrive where they
are needed when they are
needed
• Identifying problems and
driving out waste reduces
costs and variability and
improves throughput
• Requires a meaningful
buyer-supplier relationship
Inventory
Inventory is at the minimum level
necessary to keep operations running
JIT Inventory Tactics
Use a pull system to move inventory
Reduce lot sizes
Develop just-in-time delivery systems with suppliers
Deliver directly to point of use
Perform to schedule
Reduce setup time
Use group technology

Quality
 Strong relationship
 JIT cuts the cost of obtaining good quality because JIT exposes
poor quality
 Because lead times are shorter, quality problems are exposed
sooner
 Better quality means fewer buffers and allows simpler JIT
systems to be used
Chapter 17 Theory
Maintenance and reliability
Strategic Importance of
Maintenance and Reliability
 Failure has far reaching effects on a firm’s
 Operation
 Reputation
 Profitability
 Dissatisfied customers
 Idle employees
 Profits becoming losses
 Reduced value of investment in plant and
equipment
Maintenance and Reliability
 The objective of maintenance and
reliability is to maintain the capability
of the system while controlling costs
 Maintenance is all activities involved in keeping a system’s
equipment in working order
 Reliability is the probability that a machine will function
properly for a specified time
Maintenance Strategy
Employee Involvement
Information sharing
Skill training
Reward system
Employee empowerment
Maintenance and Reliability
Procedures
Clean and lubricate
Monitor and adjust
Make minor repair
Keep computerized records
Results
Reduced inventory
Improved quality
Improved capacity
Reputation for quality
Continuous improvement
Reduced variability
Figure 17.1
Maintenance
 Two types of maintenance
 Preventive maintenance – routine inspection and
servicing to keep facilities in good repair
 Breakdown maintenance – emergency or priority
repairs on failed equipment

(TPM)
 Designing machines that are reliable, easy to
operate, and easy to maintain
 Emphasizing total cost of ownership when
purchasing machines, so that service and
maintenance are included in the cost
 Developing preventive maintenance plans that
utilize the best practices of operators,
maintenance departments, and depot service
 Training workers to operate and maintain their
own machines
Your assignment
• Step 1: Make sure you understand the concepts that are covered in this slide show. If
necessary, go through it again or study the textbook. The slides by Heizer & Render
(available on eFundi) also give valuable extra information.
• Step 2: Prepare a one-page summary of the theory. Make sure it fits into the template in
the study guide. Remember to make a note of those issues that you want explained in
class.
• Step 3: Find out how new product development and quality management takes place in
your organisation. Give a one-page summary on the template.
• Step 4: Critique the way quality management takes place in your organisation. Where
necessary, suggest improvements. Give a one-page summary on the template. (If there
are diagrams, you are allowed a fourth page for them).
• Step 5: Submit your three-page report on efundi before Thursday night 23:59. This
counts towards your individual assignment and your final pass mark!
• Step 6: For your group assignment, prepare a three-slide PowerPoint show: Slide 1:
Briefly present the essence of quality management to your community organisation. (If it
is important to them, you could do new product development instead. Slide 2: Explain
whether/how they presently do quality management. Slide 3: Give them advice on how
to improve their quality management process. Use the template that is on eFundi. One
group member must submit on efundi before Thursday night 23:59 as well!
• Names of both documents must be as indicated in your study guide.
